Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild members meet up regularly for sewing, learning and skill sharing.
Our Sit and Sew Days are just that. Come, join with your guild friends, sit and sew, share, show off your work and enjoy. Occasionally we even have a Super Sit and Sew Day – up to 12 hours of fun! All Sit and Sew Days are held at GJ’s Discount Fabrics (31 Steane St, Fairfield, Vic. 3078) unless otherwise indicated. Please note that the sewing room is up a flight of stairs.
Our Community Quilts Sew Days are an opportunity for members to create quilt blocks, quilt tops and quilts to contribute to the guild’s philanthropy program. On Thursday afternoons, they’re at GJ’s Discount Fabrics. On Sundays, they’re in a ground-floor room at the Elwood and St Kilda Neighbourhood Learning Centre (ESNLC; 87 Tennyson Street, Elwood, Vic. 3184).
Visitors are welcome to join Sit and Sew Days, except those listed as ‘Members only’, on two occasions before we ask that you join the guild. Only members may attend our Community Quilts Sew Days.
Bookings are required for all events and usually open up on the 1st day of the month in which the event is held. A small fee is charged for Sit and Sew Days at the time of booking to cover costs for venue hire.
